MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Supporting growing
demand within the sequencing community for its innovative genomic search
technology, SLIM Search, Inc. announces it is a sponsor of Cambridge
Healthtech Institute's (CHI) Second International Next Generation
Sequencing Conference. The conference will review new choices in
commercially available DNA- sequencing platforms that have resulted in a
flurry of activity in the sequencing community. Offering quality programs
ranging from Genome Resequencing for Mutation Screening through the
Next-Next Generation Sequencing Technologies this conference focuses on the
next generation sequence analysis problem. Additionally the conference
offers an unparalleled opportunity for attendees to explore and contrast
the next generation screening platforms.

The Next Generation Sequencing Conference is scheduled for October
17-18, 2007 at the Renaissance Providence Hotel in Providence, RI. The SLIM
Search exhibit will be located in Ballroom A of the hotel. Registration and
additional information about this conference is available at

Next Generation Sequencing Presentation and Speaker Bio

As part of the conference Dr. Leonard Bloksberg, chief science officer
SLIM Search will deliver a seminar on Next Generation Sequence Analysis,
including theory and application of computing technologies for managing
large volumes of short read length sequence data. He will speak about how
the genomics era is maturing and how biologists are feeling the pain of the
massive data overload required in modern biology. Sequence searching is a
simple but fundamental process that consumes all the hardware researchers
have available. He will review how computational methods have evolved and
why computers using established technologies can't keep up any more. Some
useful approaches to sequence analysis that address the need for massive
speed and increased sensitivity will be discussed. Dr. Bloksberg will show
how SLIM Search has been designed to work with high volumes of short read
length sequences. Examples of how this new algorithm can enhance modern
biology will be presented.

Dr. Bloksberg has a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics, and 23 years of
experience in biomedical R&D. He was the senior scientist involved in
developing the SLIM technology at Genesis R&D. He has published 11 papers
and abstracts, and is the inventor of 52 patent applications. He has led
research and created new technologies in bioinformatics, molecular biology,
biochemistry, cell culture, physiology, classical breeding, agricultural
field work and pharmaceuticals. What sets Dr. Bloksberg apart is his
ability to see not just a clever way to solve a scientific problem, but
also a method that leads directly to useful applications and a track record
of managing technologies from discovery to market. Dr. Bloksberg left his
position at Genesis in 2004 to launch the SLIM Search technology as a
product available to the entire scientific community.

"We are confident our knowledge of the challenges associated with the
Next Generation Sequence Analysis problem, and our insights into how
computing technologies will relate to that, will resonate with many of the
attendees of this conference," states Leonard Bloksberg, CEO of SLIM
Search, Ltd. "We believe that by supporting events and conferences such as
this, we are able to further the knowledge base of the researchers within
the sequencing community."

A Revolutionary, Disruptive Technology

SLIM Technology is a lightning-fast, memory-efficient "disruptive"
technology that is not only the enabling technology for the entire
discipline of personalized medicine but is also a unique, powerful research
tool for one of the fastest growing research fields. SLIM Search opens new
doors for research through a revolutionary advancement in the speed of
information processing for genomic research. SLIM Search delivers greater
speed performing up to 10,000 times faster than a fully optimized BLAST,
which is a standard tool of the industry. SLIM Search can re-map a human
genome in half a day on a desktop workstation instead of months on a
multi-million dollar computer cluster using BLAST. SLIM Search can deliver
daily updates of an orthogonal-comparison, comparative-genomics database of
every known gene on a single PC - which might only be possible yearly on a
thousand-node Linux cluster running BLAST. In a typical genomics production
environment, SLIM can deliver throughput improvements of 100 to 3000 times
greater with equal or better sensitivity. These types of benefits are
revolutionary in any field and the time savings will be measured in lives
saved by the medical advances this technology will facilitate.
